Though the Honourable Gentleman, who had brought, forward this question, , • had declared,,that he was actuated by a sense of duty , promoting an inquiry into the eipepditure of the p‘skstio money, and was. reluctantly constrained to advert to the conduct 'of an individual, yet nine tenths of his speech had been taken up with a per-. soeal attack upon that .Honeurable Officer..

The Right Hon:Gentleman had said that . that Captain had been sent out with orders to detain the EtruscO. Had the Hon. Gentleman really read "the Papers upon which he was to decide as a judge . ? Could he say that atsy statement of. such orders was lo be tound.-in these papers? (1( was then said across 4he table, that the fael might be true, though not in Ow Papers.)

After the important' documents relative to Spain, published by the official Journal, there is . every reason to suppose that this extraordinary meeting mast be coutie6led with the affairs of that Kingdom,; and it is probable that the Treaty hy which the Emperor NAPOLEON has just acquired all the right of the House of Bourbon to the Throne of Spain will be. cdtmounicated at this Sitting to the chief public body of the State . . 'We are also assured that there will be presented for the sanction 9f the Senators the. projeat of, a Senatus Consulta, relative to the union, of Tuscany with the Empire ; and that. the Governmetit ,General of those Departments whiCh heretofore composed the Kingdom of _Etruria will be drefted. into, g great dignity of the Empire, and given to General 'Astray. It is added, that in this case there will be established in that COuntry a Junta, over which a Governor-General will pre side, and, which will be composed of three Masters of Requests, and an Auditor of State Council, performing the funaions of a Secretary-General.— Besides the official papers relative to Spain, published in the ltioniteur, and the insertion of which we have begun in our paper of this day, the Aloniteur has published also g Proclamation addressed to the inha bitants or Spain, by the Prince of ASTURIAS, anti the Other Princes of the Royal Family ; wherein their Highnesses announce to the Spaniards, that they have ceded all , their right to the Crown of Spain to the Emperor NAPOLEON.
